Welcome to Courtside, everyone, a discussion of the post-election litigation.

0:05.0

It is day 31 after the election.

0:08.0

We've reached a month, at least for those of us on planet Earth, which I gather excludes one of our two major political parties in America today.

0:17.0

And back on planet Earth, President Trump continues to have the worst losing streak of all time.

0:23.4

In any field to my note, basketball, football, politics, business, whatever, his anti-midus touch continues.

0:31.4

It's actually really hard to lose this much.

0:33.8

It's kind of like failing a class at Yale.

1:28.2

substantiate any of the grounds. And they lost in Michigan. They filed an appeal in Michigan,

1:35.2

November 30th, a full week after the Michigan certification, which kind of made their arguments,

1:40.6

their court arguments, irrelevant. And that's exactly what the judges wrote today.

1:49.6

Quote, perhaps the reason for the Trump folks failing to discuss the impact of the certification is because such action by the Michigan Board of Canvassers clearly rendered plaintiff's

1:54.9

claims for relief moot. The team Crocken is undaunted. Giuliani, Sidney, all these folks are just filing more cases.
